I just saw it as I have been away from the computer all day. If he does extend it I am in as it would be a nice extra present for my wife's Birthday. She wants a cupholder for the 993.

Huh? I guess it's time for him to add some more equipment at the factory. Actually I appreciate him for recognizing his ability to supply as opposed to empty promises and delays.

I missed out...oh well. Let me know if it changes or I'll buck up the $10.00 fleabay premium.

Geeze, if they are CNC guys it just a matter of additional blanks.....sounds like there is market pull here!

I was going to buy but I have the VW folding one good for two cups so I will stay that way..

Cheers,

Mike

After 12 years we're still trying to find cup holders.

If you're driving really slow a Starbucks grande will stay just fine between the emergency brake handle and passenger seat.

If you're driving really fast

don't drink and drive!

Try the VW (from the Jetta I think). It works great, has room for two cups, and hinges out of the way when its not used. I think its readily available (at least it was when I bought mine).

The cupholder in this thread are really neat and simple though....

Cheers,

Mike.

Sorry folks....the owner of Inventiva is sticking hard to his limit of 10. The 10 folks that I have on the first come, first served basis is:
1. SCMomentum
2. David in LA
3. LJ in Van
4. Mingson
5. Pedsburg
6. Father of 3
7. smddanny
8. Ed Burdell
9. Mind over Motorsports
10. Mark D

If any back out or do not return my PM's, I will move on down the list. I wish he was interested in supplying more for this but he isn't. I appreciate the responses...

Respectfully,

Dave

Anyone know if these things work with aftermarket seats? I assume it will depend on which specific seat but just to get an idea? TIA

Dave,

Thanks for the PM. It's a pity the guy won't ship overseas, so someone else can take my place on the list

Viggo: Dave sent me a PM regarding my inquiry where the seller of the cupholders replies as follows:

"The cup holder attaches to the fixed seat rails so I will not guarantee it will work if the rails have changed for aftermarket seats."

Hope this helps.
